16 Best Sun Loungers For Relaxing Outside All Day, Every Day
It’s time to chill out…
Finally, it’s sunbathing season. Now the hot weather has made its appearance, it’s time to set up shop in the garden to make the most of the (all too fleeting) rays. All you’ll need? A tiny bikini, a good book to read and a chic, comfortable sun lounger to relax on.
There are plenty of different styles available, so it's time to think about your needs and your home’s aesthetic when choosing the best sun lounger for you.
On a budget? Head to Argos for something practical and affordable. Looking for something super comfy? We've found extra-thick cushioned options at Wayfair. If you're all about minimal, sophisticated designs, we love this 1970s style lounger and essentially everything at La Redoute. Some loungers also come with tables to make it easier to keep your book and glass of Pimms to hand. While there are weatherproof options out there, we’d always recommend taking any cushions inside when you're finished, to avoid damage in inevitable rain showers.
Here are our top picks of the best sun loungers for every budget so you can get that five star resort vibe without ever having to worry that your flight might be cancelled.
This will add a splash of colour to your outdoor space – and it's a great price at just £24.00. Just add a cocktail and a book and you're good to go. It’s also available in a cheery yellow and dark grey.
Harbour Housewares Folding Canvas Beach Lounger
This portable folding option is something a little different; it’s perfect for taking along to the beach or park. That tropical leafy print is a failsafe summery print and it’s half price at the moment.
With curved legs, this lounge chair will rock gently in the breeze, providing you with a mellow spot to snooze in the sun or read your book in peace. It also comes with a pillow to add a little extra comfort.
This one is curved for maximum comfort. It also folds up when you need the space back, which is handy.
Well, this one's very sleek – we love the smooth acaia wood slats and minimal metal frame. You'll probably want to invest in a cushion though before you get to lounging.
This stylish wooden lounger has wheels, so you can move it around with the sun as the day draws on. Perfect if you're aiming for the bronzed look this summer.
So, this pair doesn't recline, but it does come with some footrests so you can still put your feet up after a long day WFH.
Hashtag Home Reclining Sun Lounger (set of two)
If you live near the beach, or just enjoy a nautical feel, you might like this set of two stripy loungers. It's a decent price for a set, too.
No need for cushions here, and the synthetic weave is UV-resistant and weatherproof, so no rain or sun damage should affect that beautiful bright hue.
Grey and rattan is such a chic combination, so this one is sure to bring a touch of class to your space. The cushions are weatherproof, too, so there’s no need to worry about impromptu rain showers ruining the fabric.
This white number looks super classy. Layer it up with a colourful cushion to add a bit of texture.
Black + mahogany = a classic combination. This one is guaranteed to look stylish in almost any outdoor setting.
A garden furniture round-up wouldn't be complete without a dose of rattan and this polyrattan option (much more hardwearing, FYI) is a cute option. The double width gives space for two people to chill on, or you can spread out all by yourself.
Avoid sunstroke and look stylish at the same time with this lounger with a built-in shade. There's room for two, as well, so you and your BFF can take a nap in the sun.
Real 1970s vibes here. If you're in to the mid-century look, this lounger will help you get that inside outside feel on your patio.
We're loving this sophisticated peacock blue colour. There's some matching furniture in this range (we're obsessed with this Adirondack-style armchair), but you'll need to invest in a cushion on this one to finish the look.
